Portugal return to the Estádio do Dragão to face Norway | OneFootball

Estádio do Dragão will once again host the national team when it stages the fourth-round Nations League match between Portugal and Norway.

The match is scheduled for 7:45 pm on Sunday, October 4 (RTP1), and marks the return of the team of all Portuguese people to the home of all Porto supporters.

It will be the national team’s 17th match at Estádio do Dragão, a venue where they secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup after a 9-1 thrashing of Armenia last November.

Before that, Portugal had already booked their place at the Qatar World Cup in a play-off against Turkey (3-1) and North Macedonia (2-0). In 2023, they also confirmed qualification for Euro 2024 by beating Slovakia (3-2) and, in November 2024, secured a place in the Nations League round of 16 – a competition they would go on to win – with a 5-1 thrashing of Poland.

In 2019, Estádio do Dragão was packed to watch Portugal lift the Nations League trophy after beating Switzerland (3-1) and the Netherlands (1-0).

In 16 matches at Estádio do Dragão, Portugal have won 12, drawn three and lost just one, scoring 46 goals and conceding 14. If the 30 matches played at Estádio das Antas, where the team made its debut on November 23, 1952, are also included, the national team’s record at FC Porto venues stands at 45 matches, 27 wins, 13 draws and just five defeats.
